Happy Thanksgiving!!

Roomie,

I'm glad you are my roommate. You are awesome and wonderful and amazing. We have had our differences, and we still struggle sometimes, but we have been able to work through them.

You mean so much to me. I'm glad that you are also my best friend.

DFTBA

Yes, I am still alive. Thanks for noticing.

I am so sorry for not writing for so long. I have been swept up in the madness that is school. We're about half way through the semester and I'm just now getting a chance to write a real blog so that shows you just how crazy my life has been lately.

I would try to explain the hectic and craziness that is my life lately, but it's not really interesting at the moment. I have been going to school, working out, and not really having time for much else. I guess the only really interesting thing about this semester would be that I started dating a U.S. soldier. He was on his way out for his second tour when we started talking online and started dating shortly after. It was very quick and I know a lot of people probably think I'm crazy for doing it, but it was definitely the right decision for me. Things are rough and that's just how things are going to be for a while.

I have more to say, but I'm currently fighting with my mother. I'm so sick and tired of this. It's been like this all weekend. I'm ready to go back to school all freaking ready. Gah. I'll try to write more later.

Get well soon.

It is that time of year again. The time when everyone gets sick. Roommate and I both need to stock up on juice and cough drops and stuff. And try to get plenty of sleep. That last part is not going to happen.

Amelia's Playbook

I have finally managed to land a part in a play. I will be playing the crone/witch in Hansel and Gretel. The show opens a week from tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about it, but I get excited whenever I look at my awesome costume. I haven't tried it on yet, but will probably do that tomorrow. I still have a ways to go with my lines. And my laugh. And my singing and dancing. But I am going to be putting more work into that in the next couple days because our director wants to try going off book on Tues.

Anyways, that's all I have for now.

The girls are back in town

Classes start up next week. Ready to get back into the swing of things. I need something to keep me busy. Both of us are moved in. I really like our decorations. We are really showing off our nerdy selves. Lots of Harry Potter posters up, mostly from Isabella's end. I will try to get more of my HP stuff up as well.

Can't think of much to say right now. I'm going to read some info about the London riots to find out more about it. One of us will keep a blog going about that.

The anglophile in me worries

There's a riot going on in London right now and I'm sitting here in my dorm watching ignorant people discuss the issue on Omegle.

Here are the facts as they stand now:

• A drug dealer was shot by police officers
• After that, people led a peaceful protest
• The protest turned violent
• Police have been injured, some hospitalized
• Rioting and looting has been going on for three nights
• A mass clean up is underway. For more information on clean up efforts, visit http://www.riotcleanup.co.uk/
• Riots have taken place in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham.
• Parliment to be recalled on Thursday to discuss the riots.
• The Met police plan to deploy 13,000 officers in London over the next 24 hours.
• A 26-year-old man was shot in a car in Croydon last night.

For the latest information on the U.K. riots, visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/.

I will add my opinion about these riots later today when I have more time to sit down and write.

Quick Update:

Post by Isabella-

Hey.

I just wanted to do a quick update. I've been a little busy so I'm sorry that I haven't been posting that much. I was up for the entire Pottermore experience, during the same week my A.C. stopped working for two days, I moved back to school, my mom had car problems, I unpacked everything and I read three books. Today roommate and I had a TwiBadMovie marathon. I forgot my ethernet cable at home so I need to buy one soon. Supposedly, I'm going tomorrow to buy another. Besides that I'm just preparing to get back into the swing of things. Everyone moves in on Wednesday so I'm going to enjoy my time away from people while I can.

More soon,

Loves.
